I disagree. Over engineering would be *correctly* validating more than
is necessary. Rejecting something that is valid or failing to handle
it in an orthogonal fashion is simply inept engineering. Writing more
code to do it wrong than it would have taken to do it right is
hacking, in the original sense.
